{"product_id":"18ct-yellow-gold-box-chain-0-52mm-45cm","title":"18ct Yellow Gold Box Chain 0.52mm 45cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eA box chain is formed from square-section links that close into a continuous row of cubes. The squared profile gives four flat faces along the chain, so light is returned in clean lines rather than scattered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is 18ct yellow gold, 0.52 mm across the nominal width and 45 cm long, weighing approximately 1.184 g — solid throughout, not hollow-filled. The articulation is tight and the drape is deliberately low, which keeps a pendant hanging dead centre instead of drifting. It is the usual choice where a pendant needs to sit still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this suit me?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhere it sits:\u003c\/strong\u003e At 45 cm it sits on the collarbone: the most common length for a pendant and a safe choice for a gift. On a larger neck it sits closer to the throat, so if it's for a man, 50 cm is the usual starting point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow it looks:\u003c\/strong\u003e At 0.52 mm this is a fine chain: a thin, bright line that reads as delicate on its own and lets a small pendant take the attention. It weighs about 1.2 g. The square links give a sleek, smooth line that catches the light evenly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWith a pendant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suits a light pendant or charm, such as a small solitaire. For anything heavier, a chain of 1.3 mm or more is the safer match. A pendant slides freely along the smooth, square links.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEveryday wear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18ct is softer than 9ct and richer in colour; it wears well day to day with a little care. It is solid throughout, so a jeweller can repair or shorten it. Fine chains are the most delicate kind: take it off to sleep, swim and train, and store it hanging or laid flat to avoid knots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinding your length:\u003c\/strong\u003e Measure a chain you already own from end to end, clasp included, or run a piece of string around your neck to where you'd like it to sit.
